Year 2000 release. The second Soul Center album from Thomas Brinkmann dives into the minutae of sampled groove like nothing previously known to man. Utilizing source music via the likes of "Anne", "S. Tax", "H. Hancock", "E. Floyd", "St. Singers", "R. Thomas", "C. Thomas", "G. Clinton", "B. Kays", "U. Finger", "C. Morgenstern", & "R. Powder", this album mainlines the concept of musical euphoria and achieves instant classic status. Official hype: "Can I ask you one question, ain't I clean? What you're doin? 29 years later the new bastard: Soul Center based on Wattstax... Are you ready for this, Artur? A psycho set with respect. Boy...big stuff... who in the funk do you think you are? You'll never be a morning star. Cause there are no stars in the sky, they're all on the ground. 'You may call it soul with hot sauce. We call it the African truthjuice...the sperm of the sun." (Jim Ingram). Figure it out!"

First of three Thomas Brinkmann releases under the aegis of "Soul Center" (followed by the 2nd, untitled, album [WVB 004] and III, released by Novamute). Originally issued in 1999. "Slowly reveals itself as a series of 'variationen' on themes from classic (i.e. Stax/Curtom era) soul CHARTERS, barely recontextualized and completely discernable to any student of the genre (hence previous/intended paranoia). If it's any consolation, Brinkmann is thanked [alongside J(ürgen) Paape, G(eorge) Clinton, Theo Parrish, (the) U(ndisputed) Truth, D(an) Bell, F(our) Tops, R.R.R., etc]... Spherical." -- Hrvatski.
